“…OKN allows participants to follow visual stimulus and reduce retinal slip. However, previous research work also found that OKN was responsible for VIMS since OKN increased velocity of eye movement [11]. In this case, gaze fixation is useful for participants with high VIMS susceptibility to reduce the velocity of eye movement.…”

“…However, they merely measured gaze position in horizontal and vertical direction. Furthermore, instead of viewing dynamic motions in stereoscopic movie, users watched optical flow content or alternate black-and-white vertical stripes [7], [11]. To the best knowledge of authors, there is no publication reporting investigation of VIMS based on subjective judgment, heart rate variability, and depth gaze behavior.…”

Visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) is an important safety issue in stereoscopic 3D technology. Accompanying subjective judgment of VIMS with objective measurement is useful to identify not only biomedical effects of dynamic 3D contents, but also provoking scenes that induce VIMS, duration of VIMS, and user behavior during VIMS. Heart rate variability and depth gaze behavior are appropriate physiological indicators for such objective observation. However, there is no information about relationship between subjective judgment of VIMS, heart rate variability, and depth gaze behavior. In this paper, we present a novel investigation of VIMS based on simulator sickness questionnaire (SSQ), electrocardiography (ECG), and 3D gaze tracking. Statistical analysis on SSQ data shows that nausea and disorientation symptoms increase as amount of dynamic motions increases (nausea: p<;0.005; disorientation: p<;0.05). To reduce VIMS, SSQ and ECG data suggest that user should perform voluntary gaze fixation at one point when experiencing vertical motion (up or down) and horizontal motion (turn left and right) in dynamic 3D contents. Observation of 3D gaze tracking data reveals that users who experienced VIMS tended to have unstable depth gaze than ones who did not experience VIMS.

“…One possible explanation for the results could be that co-founding between the voluntary nature of eye movements (involuntary and voluntary) and foveal retinal slip in this study. Involuntary eye motion had been proposed to produce higher VIMS than voluntary eye motion (Ebenholtz et al, 1994;Yang et al, 2011). Another possible explanation for the role of foveal retinal slip could be its role related to stabilization of visual target on the retina, which helps stabilize posture in an unstable environment.…”

“…Eye motion has been theoretically proposed and empirically verified to be an important factor associated with generation of visually induced motion sickness (Ebenholtz et al, 1994;Ji et al, 2009;Stern et al, 1990;Webb and Griffin, 2003;Yang et al 2011). Ebenholtz and his colleagues predicted that abnormal eye muscle traction can provoke VIMS.…”

This experiment isolated and studied the effects of eye motions on visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) from the effects of foveal retinal slip velocity on VIMS. Eye motion has been shown to contribute to motion sickness. However, most previous work manipulated eye motion using eye fixation pointer. In so doing eye motion suppression was co-founded with increase in the relative velocity between the eyes and the visual stimulus (retinal slip velocity). Retinal slip is a necessary condition in perception of visual motion and could affect VIMS. However, due to difficulties in controlling eye motion in isolation of retinal slip, few work examined this topic. Guo et al. (2011) studied the effect of eye motion by controlling retinal slip velocity and showed that eye motion can still have significant effects on VIMS after retinal slip velocity is controlled. In this study, four conditions represent the factorial combinations of high (+) and low (-) levels of eye motions (EM) and foveal retinal slip velocity (FRSV). Peripheral retinal slip velocity was kept the same throughout the four conditions. A real time eye-slaved pointer was used to achieve the design and presentation of the conditions. Eight subjects participated in the experiment and within subject design was used. Results of Wilcoxon signed rank tests on preliminary data indicated that reduction of foveal retinal slip while keeping eye movements and peripheral retinal slip the same can significantly reduce levels of VIMS (post-exposure total simulator sickness questionnaire scores: p < 0.02 and 7-point nausea ratings: p < 0.05). Implications of these preliminary results are discussed in the paper.

Virtual reality (VR) and head-mounted displays are continually gaining popularity in various fields such as education, military, entertainment, and health. Although such technologies provide a high sense of immersion, they can also trigger symptoms of discomfort. This condition is called cybersickness (CS) and is quite popular in recent virtual reality research. In this work we first present a review of the literature on theories of discomfort manifestations usually attributed to virtual reality environments. Following, we reviewed existing strategies aimed at minimizing CS problems and discussed how the CS measurement has been conducted based on subjective, biosignal (or objective), and users profile data. We also describe and discuss related works that are aiming to mitigate cybersickness problems using deep and symbolic machine learning approaches. Although some works used methods to make deep learning explainable, they are not strongly affirmed by literature. For this reason in this work we argue that symbolic classifiers can be a good way to identify CS causes, once they possibilities human-readability which is crucial for analyze the machine learning decision paths. In summary, from a total of 157 observed studies, 24 were excluded. Moreover, we believe that this work facilitates researchers to identify the leading causes for most discomfort situations in virtual reality environments, associate the most recommended strategies to minimize such discomfort, and explore different ways to conduct experiments involving machine learning to overcome cybersickness.
